Pnp. Crazy dense dark fruit. Amazing. Not incredibly complex but so, so enjoyable. My friend went on a Shiraz buying spree after tasting this. It was remarkable and not fading yet. Great wine

The nose opened with a rush of blueberry pie but after a few swirls it settled down into dark cherry, plum and framboise with ceder, strong sweet coffee and pipe tobacco. In the mouth black cherry, plum and blood orange with szechuan peppercorn, forest floor and dusty chalk. Big and rich but with good acid and soft tannin.
Drinking lovely right now but I don't think there is any hurry.

This one is like Bluebarry Pie. And that's a good thing. But just like blueberry pie, a steady diet of even the best one on earth would become pretty boring after just a short time. This shiraz, from the Mighty Barossa, seems to have smoothed out a little too much. Tannins and acid and anything woody or herbal or earthy - gone! So while it was enjoyable, to a point, rather unintersting at this point for me. Drink now!
